They Called This a Movie Episode 107 - Outcast (2014)

Well, it's certainly a movie we watched.  Back in the before times, all the way in 2014, some producer decided that he wanted to make a movie that would appeal to the Chinese filmgoing markets. So, he gave Nicolas Cage and Hayden Christensen an undisclosed amount of money, flew them to the forests of China, and made a dull, joyless sand and sandals movie about white people saving Asian royalty. We'll be honest with you, we didn't enjoy this, but nevertheless, here's Outcast on a brand new episode of They Called This a Movie. We're in for a slog this week, so we spend a bunch of time not talking about this movie. Join us as we discuss Nicolas Cage's accent, the Star Wars prequels, and how Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man movies don't need to be re-examined. You can find us on iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play Podcasts. If you want to see more from us, check out the website and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.  We are now part of Geek Vibes Nation, so be sure to check out their website and to look for us on their future podcast shows. This week's episode features music from Dave Katusa and you can follow him on Instagram. Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.Our theme music was written and performed by Dave Katusa.
